DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
“On the road, like in my first films. I go back to traveling lightly, but with more experience. And, as baggage, I carry with me the emotions, the poetry, the tenderness and the fun of the relationship between a young father and a teenage son who recognize themselves along the way. Behind them, trying to reach them, the mother and the new partner will face an equally unpredictable trip. In this adventure along roads overlooking the sea, everyone will have to deal with themselves and with their role as parents”
[G. Salvatores]
